Bobby Jones headlines Creston man Bullying Prevention Month killed in fatal

By CARTER ECKL

CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

St. Malachy Christian School kicked off National Bullying Prevention Month Monday morning with a speaker who talked about the ways bullying affected him throughout his life.

Bobby Jones, of Bobby Jones Speaks, addressed students from kindergarten all the way through eighth grade about the experiences in his life and how to “turn pain into purpose.”

Jones is an inspirational speaker and faith-based hip-hop artist who has traveled all over the United States and Europe talking about his life experiences.

At a towering 6 feet 4 inches, Jones normally talks to middle school and high school-age students, but adjusted his usual story to make it appropriate for a younger audience.

“Today (Monday) was an exception talking to the younger kids. It was fitting for what they probably can receive so it was good to be able to touch on those subjects as well,” said Jones.

“Normally it’s about choices, consequences and where talent will take you but character won’t keep you.”

“NORMALLY it’s about choices, consequences and where talent will take you but character won’t keep you.”

When it came to his talk to the middle schoolers, Jones opened up more about his experiences and his struggles before going into public speaking. The former college lineman discussed his battles with bullying, self-worth and al-

coholism.

Jones was scheduled by Vice President of St. Malachy Parent-Teacher Organization Tiffany Ossian.

Ossian and teachers at the school were pleased with Jones’ talk, especially considering it was his first time speaking to students in elementary school.

New traffic controls in the form of stop signs and reduced speed limit will be introduced on 190th Street east of Afton after the Union County Board of Supervisors approved the change in a 2-1 vote.

Also called School Road, this 1 1/2 mile long segment of rock road in question underwent heavy maintenance and reshaping over the summer in preparation for school-year traffic.

Recent additional safety concerns have been raised by the public, however, with special regard to an underpass that the road segment uses to cross un-

derneath the railroad that runs parallel to Highway 169.

The underpass is 24 feet wide, and, though Union County Engineer Zach Gunsolley explains it is wide enough for two cars to pass, safety in icy winter conditions may still be an issue.

“That is wide enough for two cars to pass,” s a i d Gunsolley. “It’s just that psychologically, when Gunsolley you’re meeting someone in such COUNTY | 2A

The talk prompted more discussion in the classroom afterward between teachers and students.

Melissa Sickels, a fourthgrade teacher, said her class talked for more than half an hour following Jones’ presentation.

“We talked about being kind and being nice,” said Sickels. “We talked quite a bit about cyber-bullying.

Iowa lawmakers to discuss opioids, though policy unclear DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa lawmakers will meet soon to address growing reports of opioid abuse in the state, though it’s unclear what action they’ll take.

An interim committee will gather at the state Capitol over two days this month to discuss the issue, including a new report from the University of Iowa that noted rates of prescription opioid overdose deaths in Iowa have quadrupled in the past 20 years — making Iowa one of only a handful of states with such a large increase. The report also recommends ways to reduce opioid overdoses and deaths.

The committee, made up of four Republicans and two Democrats, will hear testimony and then submit a separate report in November that could be a legislative blueprint. Rep. David Heaton, a Mount Pleasant Republican helping lead the committee, said he expects legislation aimed at reducing opioid abuse, but details are being sorted out.

“This is a bipartisan issue and I think we’ll get a bill and move it forward,” Heaton said, later noting multiple pieces of legislation

“THIS IS a bipartisan issue and I think we’ll get a bill and move it forward.”

are possible during the next legislative session.

Opioids include both prescription pain relievers, like oxycodone, and illegal substances such as heroin.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate there were more than 33,000 deaths related to prescription opioids or heroin in 2015, a figure that has brought a national spotlight to the issue.

Such deaths in Iowa remain low compared to other states, but they’re climbing. The Iowa Department of Public Health said there were about 67 overdose deaths in 2016, up from 28 in 2005. There were about 146 opioid-related deaths in 2016, up from 59 in 2005.

More than 2,200 opioid treatment submissions were recorded in 2016, up from a little over 600 in 2005.

Sarah Ziegenhorn helps

lead the Iowa Harm Reduction Coalition, a nonprofit in Iowa City that distributes naloxone, a drug that reverses overdoses. Ziegenhorn, who is scheduled to address lawmakers at the Capitol, said the number of opioid-related deaths in Iowa can mask the seriousness of the issue in the state because not all overdoses are fatal.

Her organization has distributed about 1,000 naloxone kits since June, and estimates about 200 have been used.

“From being in the community, we see a different story,” she said.

Naloxone is more available because of a 2016 law.

Kevin Techau, a former U.S. attorney in Iowa who has followed opioid abuse closely, said more is needed. He said Iowa “is at a crossroads” in addressing opioid abuse, and there are initiatives with minimal costs that can have a significant impact.

That includes a needle exchange program aimed at preventing the spread of infectious diseases. He noted that a so-call Good Samaritan law, which would ensure some legal protec-

tion for individuals seeking emergency help during an overdose, failed to get enough traction last legislative session.

Legislative policy, he said, is “really just people kind of putting their actions where their mouth is.”

The University of Iowa report was compiled through the Iowa Injury Prevention Research Center at the College of Public Health. Its recommendations include more training for physicians in opioid prescribing, improving the state’s monitoring of opioid abuse and ensuring more health care coverage for addiction treatment.

Rep. Chuck Isenhart, a Dubuque Democrat, sits on the committee expected to address the issue. In an email to The Associated Press, he said the state “has made little progress” in addressing the opioid crisis since governors from the National Governors Association met in Des Moines last year and signed a compact vowing to do so.

“This interim committee is the Iowa General Assembly’s second chance to make good on that promise,” he said.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, October 3, 2017

We all face challenges Several weeks ago, I was diagnosed with renal cancer. I had been suffering from back pain and I had assumed it was a sciatic nerve issue, but Dr. Lonnie Miller discovered I had a tumor on my right kidney and it had grown over into my lower spine. The cancer in my spine was pressuring nerves and causing pain and numbness in my back and right leg.

Just like many others that have faced similar health challenges or much worse, I did not have time for surgeries and treatments.

However, my body required an extended timeout for me, whether I liked it or not. My first surgeries were scheduled for early August, and how in the world was school going to start without me? It was time for us to test a couple of points I have been preaching for a long time. First off, the superintendent is just one person that works at school like many others. We all have our roles and as a team, together we make the school system function for our students. Second, and as I told the athletes I coached for many years, we all need to be prepared in case someone may be sick or gone on ball-game or contest night. I would tell the team they would need to be ready to call their own plays and to win in case I was in the delivery room with my wife on ball-game night. We were not going to forfeit because I had a higher priority to attend to. Of course, there were other coaches, but the point remained.

I started to march through the

various surgeries and treatments and it quickly became apparent to me what kind of people and team we have at Creston Community Schools and in our community.

The attitude of the board of education, administrative team and each and every other member of our staff could not have been better! Also, the support I have received from our staff, community members, my church family at Creston First United Methodist Church and friends has been truly overwhelming and unexpected! I am very fortunate to enjoy strong family support, but beyond that, the concern shown by so many others has been unbelievable. I am a person of strong faith, but my faith has grown much stronger through this little detour on my journey. The presence of this support has transformed my outlook on life.

School started well and I joked with folks about how they might find out how much they really don’t need me around! I continue to communicate with several folks at school through emails, text messages and the phone. I even Skyped into our big opening staff day in the CCHS auditorium and offered to show our staff my scar from a recent surgery on the big

screen! That was a joke, of course!

I have been working some partial days at school. We’ll see how upcoming treatments and procedures impact how I feel.

As I continue to recover, I have been reminded how easy it is to find folks who are suffering from much tougher challenges than our own. Some of these individuals are new friends, but many are lifelong friends and acquaintances that I have bumped into at our Greater Regional Medical Center Cancer Center or in labs at GRMC. Cancer always changes a person’s perspective on life, but understanding the number of people facing physical, mental and emotional hardships each day drives the point home we all need the support of others. I have prided myself in being 100 percent independent in life, but I realize there is truly no such thing as total independence.

We all need others in our lives, sometimes more than others. Nobody lives life independently.

Recently I have also noticed how this world gets smaller every day.

During my various appointments and procedures in Iowa City, Des Moines and here in Creston, I have run into several former students of mine. Many of those now have careers in the health field and have been in positions to really help me out or to put me in great pain! I’m glad my relationships with those former students were positive.

As I’m sure you realize, we have seen other challenges at school in recent weeks. At school and in the community, we are doing our best to look at ourselves in the mirror, to learn through the adversity and to address issues that cannot be ignored. It has taken a long time for us to reach this point related to our values and perspectives, so it will take time to determine the best ways we can heal and become better as a community and as a nation. At school, our focus always remains on our local children and their learning. We realize teach-

ing and learning true respect and compassion for others will not happen through token efforts. We will make stronger and more extended efforts to prepare our local children to respect and appreciate others and to build the skills necessary to work with others peacefully and constructively. Several moves have already been made.

For example, our administrators are working closely with a group of individuals from outside of our community that specialize in race relations and accompanying educational practices.

I believe this is the most important challenge we face as a country and community today. As you and I have witnessed, this community is loaded with good people who know how to unite and rally behind a cause. It is clearly the time for possibly our strongest and most meaningful rally ever. Someday history will mark our success or our failure in this crucial time.

We are all in this together!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Presentation to be presented

by Abortion Dialogue Academy From Retta Ripperger Creston

This summer, several local women and I attended the Catholic Daughters of the Americas state convention at Ames. One of the workshops was the Abortion Dialogue Academy group, and we were astounded by the way they could convince people to be pro-life who were either totally opposed or had no opinion.

We asked them to come to do a presentation for our local Catholic Daughters of the Americas meeting and it has snowballed into an event.

The presentation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 17 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church Hall at 107 W. Howard St., in Creston.

The ABC Dialogue Method is derived from the three essential skills taught by Justice for All which are asking questions, listening and finding common ground. These three things are an excerpt of the “10 Characteristics of a Good Ambassador” originally taught by Stand to Reason.

It would be fabulous if we had a standing-room only crowd. I look forward to seeing many of you at this presentation. If you have any questions, I would try to answer them. You may also find information at www.AbortionDialogueAcademy.org. Please RSVP to Virginia at 641-340-2745.

Yours in Christ, Retta Ripperger Regent, Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court Joan of Arc No. 428

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Homeowners pay taxes also From Sandra Kessler Creston

I find it unreal that the city council passed a law to charge

food wagons $1,000 a year to sell sandwiches. They ran Maid-Rite out of town.

What restaurant has caused this big charge? I know businesses pay taxes, but so do I as a homeowner

and we have opinions.

Creston could increase revenue by issuing tickets to people to get rid of junk cars and other junk.

People, help me by writing letters to the editor with opinions.

Trump’s rating HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

President Trump relaxed at his New Jersey golf resort on Saturday buoyed by new polls which showed his job approval rating rose to 45 percent. It feels like a never-ending battle. Last week, a CNN panelist called President Trump a boob, which would explain his popularity among men.

The Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers got off to terrible starts this fall. The NFL is embarrassed by the low stadium attendance numbers. Last week, San Diego began construction on the border wall, but it wasn’t to keep Mexicans out, it was to keep the Chargers from coming back.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted President Trump’s tax cuts claiming they’ll cause the national debt to soar. The debt consists of bonds we sell overseas.

America now owes China so much money that every Chinese restaurant fortune cookie note begins by saying, this is an attempt to collect a debt.

The UN released a study show-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

ing that a proper diet is the key to peaceful development in the developing nations. There’s increasing evidence that a society’s diet affects their likelihood to be warlike. The most violent countries in the world seem to be the ones with the least amount of bacon.

Osama bin Laden’s son took over al-Qaeda as their enlistment numbers crashed. There could soon be a dramatic decline in the number of suicide bombings by terrorists in the Middle East. They know there won’t be 72 virgins left in Paradise for them now that Hefner’s checked in.

The Las Vegas Review Journal quoted state prison authorities who said O.J. Simpson could be released from the Lovelock Correctional Prison as early as Monday, but he was released Saturday night. In both California and Florida, the state at-

torney generals just issued the same five-word warning. Hide your wife and waiter.

NFL players locked arms on the sidelines before Monday and Thursday’s games yet they stood for the national anthem. Sporting events are not the time nor place for social justice protests. At U.S. chess tournaments, do players kneel during the national anthem because white always gets to go first?

The Auto Club quoted car insurers who say that distracted driving is the number-one highway safety problem in California. What could cause that? Let’s just say the next tech billionaire is the guy who invents an app which sends a text message to Los Angeles drivers when the light turns green.

President Trump was ripped by ESPN for picking a fight with pro athletes over the national anthem protests. Polls show two-thirds of Americans agreed with him. Last week, the Golden State Warriors joined Hillary Clinton among the number of people who won’t be going to the White House.

Roku cuts price on top streaming player to counter Apple TV SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Emboldened by a successful IPO, Roku is reducing the price on the next generation of its best video streaming player in an attempt to fend off competitive threats from Apple and Amazon.

The latest Roku Ultra player announced Monday will sell for $100. That’s a 23 percent decrease from the Roku Ultra released last year, a device that had been selling for $130 until a recent clearance sale.

Roku is also upgrading an array of other streaming devices, priced from $29 to $70, less than week after completing an initial public offering of stock that raised $219 million for the Los Gatos, California, company. In vote of confidence, Roku’s stock has already nearly doubled from its IPO price of $14.

Roku vs. Apple Even with that strong start on Wall Street, Roku still only has a market value of $2.5 billion, making it a relative David battling two Goliaths in Apple ($800 billion market value) and Amazon ($462 billion). Roku also still hasn’t turned a profit.

But the price cut on the Roku Ultra could make it tougher for Apple to win over video streaming fans with its just released player featuring super-sharp “4K”

video — a step up from standard high definition. The new Apple TV player costs almost $180, up from almost $150 for an earlier model without 4K. The Roku Ultra also plays 4K video and offers more streaming channels than Apple TV, but it isn’t compatible with Apple’s own video store or Apple’s music subscription service.

Apple is counting on those services to justify its higher priced Apple TV for the tens of millions of consumers hooked on its iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.

Roku vs. the rest The Roku Ultra is still more expensive than the next generation of Amazon’s Fire TV streaming player. Amazon last week announced that the latest Fire TV model with 4K video will sell for $70, down from $100 previously.

Meanwhile, computer chip maker Nvidia is trying to make its own splash with a Shield streaming player that it rolled out two years ago.

The next generation of the Shield player comes equipped with Google’s digital assistant to find and navigate through video with voice commands while also providing on-screen answers to many questions. It also sells for almost $180.

Harvest Festival have described a scene of terror that felt like a “war zone” as a shooter in a Las Vegas hotel rained gunfire down on thousands of music fans.

Police said at least 58 people died and at least 515 people were injured during the shooting Sunday. It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Country singer Tyler Reeve says he was backstage when a volley of shots rang out Sunday night during a performance by Jason Aldean. He and other singers took cover in a trailer while bullets struck tour buses, equipment cases and the stage.

SWAT teams using explosives stormed the gunman’s hotel room in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino and found he had killed himself, authorities said. The attacker, Stephen Craig Paddock, a 64-yearold retiree from Mesquite, Nevada, had 23 guns in the room, they said.

“I don’t think many people realized right away what it was, but right when I heard it, I grabbed my buddy that was next to me and started running toward a production trailer,” Reeve told The Associated Press in a phone interview Monday from Las Vegas.

Reeve and others lay down on the trailer floor and turned all the lights off.

“As we were lying in this trailer, I was thinking, ‘This can’t really be happening,’ and it just went on and on. I can’t even describe the feeling, just absolute terror,”

Reeve and his friends left the trailer and ran through the streets to the MGM Grand Casino.

“It was just shoes and clothing and blood and bodies,” Reeve said. “It was a war zone.”

Dylan Schneider, another singer who also performed Sunday, says he was watching Aldean’s performance near the front of the stage when he heard what he initially thought were fireworks. But as the shooting continued he and his manager ran for cover under nearby bleachers.

“On top of the bleachers all you heard was banging,” Schneider said in a phone interview Monday from Las Vegas. “People running around and everybody screaming.”

He said the crowd scattered in all directions, unsure of where the gunfire was coming from.

“No one knew what to do,” he said. “It was literally running for your life and you don’t know what decision is the right one.”

From under the bleachers, he said he could see people lying on the grass.

Schneider said he and his manager ran to the Tropicana Hotel and Casino where they spent several hours in a convention room with hundreds of other people.

“I just feel so terrible that this had to happen at something that was supposed to be a good time,” Schneider said. “I am thinking of all the families.

I know what it’s like to

on, cause we were doing that ourselves.”

Josh Abbott, the lead singer of the Josh Abbott Band, had also performed that day and went back his hotel room in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, a few floors below where police found the attacker dead.

“I had just left and was in the Mandalay Bay on the 20th floor with my fiancee during the shooting just a few floors away,” Abbott said in a statement.

“The band & crew were on the concert grounds and saw people get shot. Some of my crew members were hit with shrapnel, but not injured. We are deeply disturbed by this horrific act of violence and send our thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families. It was a long awful night but we are blessed to be alive and healthy. Hug your loved ones tight.”

Caleb Keeter, a guitarist for the Josh Abbott Band, posted a statement on Twitter about his reaction to the shooting.

“I have been a proponent of the 2nd Amendment my entire life,” Keeter wrote.

“Until the events of last night. I cannot express how wrong I was.”

Keeter said while members of their crew had legal firearms on their bus, they didn’t want to be mistaken for attackers.

Keeter said the attacker “laid waste to a city with dedicated, fearless police officers desperately trying to help, because of access

Reeve said he doesn’t want this shooting to stop other musicians from performing or fans to stop going to concerts.

“I know the music community will survive and we all love each other and we’re strong,” Reeve said.

“We’re going to do whatever we can to get through it together.”

Duo Big & Rich played the festival about 90 minutes before the shooting and did not witness the carnage. They said the shooting would undoubtedly bring changes to concert venues, but it wasn’t going to alter their immediate plans, which include playing a show in Phoenix on Tuesday.

“One thing that is not going to change is we are going to continue to get on the stages and we’re going to continue to go out there and do what we do. We are not going to let the fear overcome us,” Big Kenny said.

“We are not going to stop what we do,” John Rich said. “I mean the whole point of these guys when they blow up concerts or start shooting people at concerts or whatever their devilish ideas are that they do, their whole point is to smash us down into a corner where we’ll stop doing what we do.

“While I think grief and mourning is all that I’m feeling right now, we do know that down the road this guy does not win,” Rich said. “We don’t let this guy win.”

Tom Petty a rock classicist from the beginning NEW YORK (AP) — Given the leather jacket and sneer Tom Petty wore on the cover of his 1976 debut, many people assumed he was one of those cheeky punks bent on tearing down the walls of rock ‘n’ roll.

He wasn’t. It’s not that Petty and his band, the Heartbreakers, didn’t have their share of energy and attitude.

But the kid from Gainesville, Florida, was a rock classicist to the core, and he built a body of work to stand with his heroes.

That debut contained songs that stood the test of time, the snaky “Breakdown” and “American Girl,” which so echoed the Byrds that it confused that band’s leader.

“When did I record that?”

Roger McGuinn recalled thinking when he first heard it.

Only a week before his death Tuesday night after suffering cardiac arrest, Petty and the Heartbreakers finished a triumphant 40th anniversary tour in his adopted Southern California home.

His sturdy compositions built

a discography so strong he couldn’t get to all of his hits.

“The Waiting,” ‘’Listen to Her Heart,” ‘’Here Comes My Girl,” ‘’Refugee,” ‘’You Got Lucky,” ‘’Don’t Do Me Like That,” ‘’Even the Losers,” ‘’Don’t Come Around Here No More.” And so on.

All are fist-pumping favorites.

It was melodic rock ‘n’ roll built with the solid structures of his favorites from the 1960s. Petty had an impish grin and playful drawl, and in concert he raised his arms to direct both his band and the thousands of fans singing along from the audience. “’Rock and roll star’ is probably the purest manifestation of the American dream,” Petty said upon his 2002 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “It’s a blessing beyond belief.”

As Petty and his band performed “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and “American Girl” to the well-heeled audience, his daughters stood up and danced.

The Heartbreakers stood with Bruce Springsteen’s E

Street Band as one of the all-time great rock backup bands. Petty wouldn’t give ground: he added an expletive to his declaration on that night that the Heartbreakers weren’t just one of America’s best bands, they were THE best. Being able to stand onstage next to guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboard player Benmont Tench made Petty the envy of many bandleaders.

Still, two key periods of his career came without the Heartbreakers.

“Full Moon Fever,” Petty’s first solo album in 1989, stands as the apex of his career. Working with producer Jeff Lynne, Petty fashioned a cleaner sound and created the classics “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” ‘’I Won’t Back Down” and, most indelibly, “Free Fallin’.”

He sings about “a good girl, crazy ‘bout Elvis, loves horses and her boyfriend, too.”

And the narrator admits, “I’m a bad boy, ‘cause I don’t even miss her. I’m a bad boy for breakin’ her heart.” He had his own problems.

Petty was also a member of the temporary supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys, with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and Lynne.

Pulled together by Harrison to record a B-side to a single, “Handle With Care,” they soon realized that the song, and their sound, was too good to bury. It felt like a night at a Hollywood party, a bunch of rock legends break out the guitars, pour a few drinks, and maybe a few more, and trade lines with each other.

It’s a good life.

“It was a gift I was given and what it means I don’t know,” Petty said in a 2009 interview with The Associated Press.

“Johnny Cash once told me, he said, ‘it was a noble job.’

And I said, ‘Really?’ And he said, ‘Well, it makes a lot of people happy.’ ... It does. It makes a lot of people happy.

You can lose sight of that.

People come up to me on the street and tell me how some song played a role in their life or how it got them through a hard time or this and that and I just think, ‘Damn, that’s what it is about.’”

because of tomorrow’s Full Moon in Aries.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Keep an eye on your money scene. Avoid arguments about possessions and money, which might occur because someone is hot under the collar as tomorrow’s Full Moon approaches.

YOU BORN TODAY You are energetic and have a great zest for life! You also have a sharp, discerning mind. This year, you will be more involved with oth-

ers. Personal responsibilities with friends and family will be important, as will your service for others. Because of this, it’s wise to take care of yourself.

Why not explore a makeover or do something that is rejuvenating?

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: October is National Window Covering Safety Month. The Window Covering Safety Council (www.windowcoverings.org) has hints for making your home safer when it comes to WINDOW TREATMENTS: * Keep all cribs, beds and furniture away from windows. * Use only cordless window coverings, or those with inaccessible cords. * If your window treatments do have cords, make sure they are out of sight and out of reach.

If you’re renting a home or apartment, or your home is older, you may have older-style cords on your window treatments, which can be a danger if you have grandkids who visit.

Safety is always the most important factor. Window cords can pose a strangulation hazard to young children. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (www.CPSC. gov), corded window coverings are among the top hidden hazards in American homes.

Check these websites for more information. – Heloise TAG – I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE! Dear Readers: Be careful

about “tagging” yourself, or “checking in” to a business on social media. This tells people exactly where you are, and that you are not at home.

If you want to mention a business that you like, or tell everyone about a great restaurant, do it after you are back home. – Heloise WINDOW WASHER Dear Heloise: One side of my house is all sliding glass doors and tall windows.

Cleaning them was impossible, not to mention the streaks!

I decided to use microfiber cloths – one with plain, very hot water to wash, and one to dry! It worked!

I washed 1/4 of the window at a time. No worries about streaks – it just doesn’t happen! – Sylvia R., Mount Solon, Va. DOLL DRESSES Dear Heloise: My daughter went through a divorce.

So, what to do with the wedding dress she didn’t want anymore?

I cut as much fabric as I could from the dress and had a seamstress make three doll dresses from the material! – Mickee R., Spearfish, S.D.

SUDOKU

A STICKY SUBJECT Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Erie (Pa.) Times-News. I use hand sanitizer to clean fingerprints and smudges off my touch-screen devices. – Lisa F., Erie, Pa. Lisa, use only a tiny amount, and don’t apply directly to the screen. You don’t want the liquid to seep under the screen. – Heloise MORE STORAGE Dear Heloise: I’m always looking for extra storage space, even after a decluttering. Here are two ideas I’ve come up with: A small net hammock tacked in a corner of my son’s room is a great place to stow lightweight stuffed animals.

Here in Texas, we never use the fireplace. It’s a good place to tuck a floral arrangement or a collection of books.

Diagonal takes second sweep from O-M ■ Errors

hamper Bulldogs after leading two sets

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

. 7, the Orient-Macksburg volleyball team was rarely in contention all night in a 25-16, 25-22, 25-11 defeat at Diagonal in a Bluegrass Conference match.

Progress was shown in Monday’s return match that did not count in the conference standings. The Bulldogs held late leads in two of the three sets before going down in another sweep, 25-23, 25-18, 25-21.

As Diagonal coach Allison Hajek saw her team improve to 5-6 for the season, she observed improvement on both ends of the court.

“O-M has definitely improved,” Hajek said. “I think both teams have improved throughout the year.

We have enough experience that our girls know how to pull themselves out of that funk when they get behind.

They know what they have to do.”

The Bulldogs, in falling to

2-9, did not show that finishing skill Monday night.

After falling behind 14-9 in the opening set, the Bulldogs roared back into the lead. Senior Ashlyn Kralik went on a five-point service string, including an ace to put the Bulldogs in front, 23-19.

Emily Newton hit one of her six kills to end O-M’s run, and Erin Sobotka served out the run to Diagonal’s 25-23 victory.

“Erin is one of our steadiest servers, and she led us in digs tonight with 10,” Hajek said.

Kayla Bentley, who ended the night with a matchhigh four aces, served Diagonal to an 8-1 lead in the second set. The final point was a hard kill to the middle of the floor by junior Bailey Taylor.

The spread reached 12-3 and 14-6 before Orient-Macksburg gradually crept back into contention.

Jump server Kaela Eslinger notched three successive points, including an ace, to close it to 18-12. Then, Montana Holtry served an ace among two points to make it 19-14 before Diagonal Diag/O-M | 10A

WEST BURLINGTON — Southwestern volleyball charged its way into last Wednesday’s contest at Southeastern Community College and oulled out a convincing thee-set win.

The Spartans kept attacking errors to a minimum and made the most of their efforts in a 25-22, 25-17, 27-25 win.

“Our blocking was spot on. Sydney (Maynes, recently back from a nagging injury) and Kelcie (Shields) just controlled the net,” SWCC coach Aleesha Cleaver said. “Their hitters struggled all night to get balls over the net.”

Kelcie Shields and Jada Perkins combined for 18 kills. Ashley Kopplin had 20 Maynes digs.

MARSHALLTOWN — The Spartans started their day Friday with another 3-0 win (25-11, 25-16, 27-25), this time over Dakota County Technical College.

Perkins whacked 10 kills, Shields and Hannah Ryan both added six kills and Maynes contributed five more in the win.

“It was good for Sydney, she’s a game changer at the net,” Cleaver said. “She’s able to get from pin to pin quickly.”

Ashley Porter was a constant presence with 14 digs and 18 assists.

Porter was the ‘1’ in the 1-5 set that the Ryan Spartans have kept going to, relying on her setting skills to set the Spartans up on the attack.

Wolverines show off improvements in road win

AP SPORTS WRITER

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — After Harrison Butker missed the first field-goal attempt of his NFL career, Chiefs coach Andy Reid walked over to the rookie and prepared to instill a little bit of confidence.

“He said, ‘I got it.

I got it.

I was j u s t off a tad,’” Reid Reid recalled of their brief exchange. “He kind of gives you that feeling that everything’s going to be OK.” Better than just “OK.” Butker responded to his first-half miss

MARTENSDALE — Nodaway Valley yielded several runs in Thursday’s match at Martensdale-St. Marys before sprinting its way to a four-set victory.

The Wolverines won 25-14, 25-23, 26-28, 25-22.

“Both sides you could tell were very competitive. It was tenacious on both sides,” Nodaway Valley coach Allison Kiburz said.

Nodaway Valley held serve and established control in set one.

Corinne Bond continued to showcase some freshman strength to go along with Shike’s, smashing home six kills and was 11 of 12 serving with six aces.

“She’s a big presence for us,” Kiburz said about Bond.

The Wolverines shot out to a 5-0 lead in set two on Shike’s serve, and Christina Wilson knocked a winner over the net to cap that run.

The Wolverines were riding high. loud and cheering together.

“That’s something we’ve worked on all season, was having our energy up at all times,” Kiburz said.

Nodaway Valley’s inexperience finally showed when Martensdale-St. Marys cut a 22-10 lead and rode a run all even, but Bond came through with a clutch tap to pull ahead and served the winning point to take set two.

I felt confident,” said Butker, who was claimed off the Carolina practice squad to replace injured kicker Cairo Santos. “I knew it was going to come down to a field goal. I felt pretty calm. I was excited; I wasn’t nervous.”

SWCC went back and forth with the host Tigers 25-21, 26-28, 22-25, 25-21, 12-15.

The Spartans lost a 10-point lead at one point and struggled to close out sets.

“We couldn’t connect, we couldn’t finish and we would make silly mistakes,” Cleaver said. “It was just us not being smart.”

The Spartans will be back in action on their home court for the first time since Sept. 13 on Tuesday against Ottawa University’s JV team at 7 p.m.

“I think it does take a toll on the girls. We got home past 1(p.m.) twice last week.”

SWCC is now 9-17 and 2-3 in the conference.

settled in for the 25-18 win.

Set three was all Orient-Macksburg early. Brooklyn Sammons, Eslinger and Holtry all served effectively to keep Diagonal on the defensive in building a 11-4 Eslinger lead. All three Bulldogs smacked aces during the run.

Then the familiar problems cropped up in the name of net serves and hitting errors. Before long, Diagonal was in front, 19-18, on the way to the clinching 25-21 victory.

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, October 3, 2017

“We notice a shift,” O-M assistant coach Teresa Thompson said. “We came out in that third game ready to go, hitting it hard and serving well. Then we get up and start to think, OK, let’s not let them score. Early on we are on the attack, then we are just in a mode where we don’t want to let them score, letting them get on the offensive.”

“Diagonal does a good job of keeping the ball in play, and we weren’t doing as well with t h a t , ” O-M head coach Katie Geidel said.

Kralik Holtry was perfect in 16 serving attempts for the Bulldogs, with three aces.

Kralik served two aces while going 11-13. Geidel said sophomore Ali Neisemier and freshman Haylee Meyer played steady as young varsity players Monday.

Tonight both teams are at home. O-M hosts Murray.

AREA FOOTBALL ■ Timberwolves

pound the rock with authority in home win over Wolverines

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

A portion of this article ran in Monday’s paper.

CORNING — Forget the forward pass. That’s what Southwest Valley did in asserting the run to the tune of 392 yards in Friday’s 49-7 win over Nodaway Valley.

Southwest Valley didn’t even attempt a pass.

“Basically having four running backs that can run the ball makes it really nice,” Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo said.

Every Southwest Valley ball-carrier averaged

at least 6.6 yards per carry, with Aaron Armstrong (152 yards) and Jace Petersen (98 yards) leading the way. This, a week removed from a less-excitable offensive performance in a 21-0 win over Martensdale-St. Marys.

The Wolverines had troubles stopping Southwest Valley’s option attack, as coach Steve Shantz noted that the Wolverine coaching staff had to make its own corrections to how to defend the Timberwolf offense.

“When we looked at things, we had our ends getting quarterback and linebacker going... on the dive to quarterback and I think sometimes we’d get reading to that fullback,” Shantz said. “I think he thought he was going to the inside gap and he went to the outside gap, more of a veer type

of look.”

Nodaway Valley found more success than in past games in its passing attack, as Spencer Lamb completed five passes between A r y l l Wilson Shantz (two receptions for 46 yards and a touchdown), Austin Wilson (two receptions and 35 yards) and Britten Brady Hilpipre (one catch).

Hilpipre ran for 18 yards,

as did Shantz.

Thomas Britten ran for 27 yards and continued to demonstrate his leadership on defense. he and Austin Wilson spent a good amount of time in the Wolverine backfield.

“That’s our senior leader,” Shantz said. “He’s gone through the tough work. He’s played guard the last two years after playing fullback.”

Britten led the Wolverines with seven tackles.

Other tackling leaders were Hilpipre with 6.5, Wilson with 4.5, Lamb with four and Shantz with four.

The Wolverines dropped to 0-7 and 0-5 in district play.

They host Southeast Warren (4-2, 2-2) next Friday.

NAPA Auto Parts Tradition closes ACS season

By Trevor Maeder Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – A record total 145 cars showed up at the Adams County Speedway on Saturday night to end the 2017 season with the 20th running of the NAPA Auto Parts Tradition.

Five classes ran on Saturday night: the Midwest Fire Service B-Modifieds, Petersen Tire Compacts, TS Bank Modifieds, AgriVision Equipment Group Hobby Stocks and the Custom Diesel Drivers Training Stock Cars.

B-Modifieds, Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Stock Cars were all competing for lap bonus money that was awarded to the leaders of the halfway lap and lap 20 of their respective features.

The Modifieds and Stock Cars paid $250 for lap bonuses. Hobby Stocks and B-Modifieds paid $150.

Ramsey Grinding also contributed to two bonuses.

A hard luck award, in which drivers of all classes were eligible to receive, and a $100 mystery bonus that went to a hobby stock driver who finished in a pre-determined position.

B-Mods Action began Saturday night with the Midwest Fire Service B-Modifieds, who were racing for $1,000 to win. Thirty-three drivers were in attendance.

Josh Cooper, Jerod Weston, Jake McBirnie and Matt W e b b Cooper picked up heat race wins. Kody Kline and Shawn Kralik won the B-Features to advance to the A. Jerry Hinton and Kody

was starting to work. The serve of Martensdale-St. Marys’ Aspen Parkhurst and the athleticism of the likes of Morgan Dunn helped Martensdale establish control at the net finally.

The Wolverines lost a 2320 lead, and fell 26-28.

Set four was another thriller, but senior leader Jodi Baudler showed her improved swinging confidence that has grown leaps and bounds heading into and throughout her senior campaign thus far.

Baudler smashed a winner to help grab control 147, while Bond and Marnin came alive around the net once more for a 21-17 lead.

Marnin had 10 kills and four aces while Baudler had five kills and nine digs.

“At the beginning of the season, she (Baudler), she came up to me and said ‘what do I need to do to earn that starting spot?’ and I said ‘you need to hit harder. You need to be all the way around. I need you all the way around the floor and getting everyone excited. She is who gets out team going.”

Kate Jensen’s consecutive service points to go up 23-17, part of a 13 of 14 serving night for her.

M a r tensdale pulled the match Jensen closer once more, but Natalie Yonker’s overhand swing from the back row fell to the floor on the Blue Devils’ side for the win.

Several girls stepped up in

Havens started on the front row. Hinton led the early laps of the race, holding off a charge from Josh Cooper.

Defending Tradition champion Josh Sink quickly raced up from his ninth-place starting position up toward the front. Sink took the lead from Hinton around the halfway, bringing Matt Webb with him. Webb gave Sink all he could handle, but the Red Oak native held his line to collect the $1,000 payday. Webb finished in second, Johnathan Logue rallied from his 18th place starting position to finish third. Gunnar Pike and Jerry Hinton rounded out the top five.

Sink was the halfway leader and the lap 20 leader.

Compacts Thirty Petersen Tire Compacts hit the dirt Saturday night with $600 at stake for the feature winner.

Bobby Key, Denny Berghahn Jr., Joe Baker and Tim Hovick won heat races.

Dean Richards and Jonathan Kinser won the B-Features.

Berghahn quickly raced up to the front, bringing Key with him. Berghahn took the white flag twice only to have a caution come out before he could see the checkered flag. The third time was the charm for Berghahn, as he held off a hard charging Key to win his second consecutive tradition. Key finished second, Joe Baker, Chris Vannausdle and Curtis Miller rounded out the top five.

Modifieds Thirty-one TS Bank Modifieds showed up Saturday night to race for $1,500 to win. Nick Roberts, Jake Hobscheidt, Trenton Jackson and Brian Foote won the heat races. Tyler Gross and Ryan Jenkins won the B-Features.

Tim Ward started on the

the absence of starters.

Two starters, Brianna Lilly and Brittany Smith were both gone, Lilly (hurt) and Smith (sick).

“We had several girls step up in the middle. Baylie Speer came in and Alyssa Davis, who doesn’t even have a varsity jersey, who plays JV, we had people come in and take their spots” Natalie Yonker had 21 digs and Shike boosted up 25 assists and added four kills.

“For a setter to do that, that’s pretty rare. She’s athletic,” Kiburz said about Shike.

Nodaway Valley improved to 5-13 with the win.

front row for the A-Feature and quickly jumped out to over a 3-second lead over Hobscheidt.

Hobscheidt managed to erase Ward’s lead. Hobscheidt appeared to make a pass for the lead with eight laps to go, but a caution came out and per rules, scoring reverted back to the last completed lap, making Ward the leader.

Ward hit his marks on the restart and picked up the win. Hobscheidt, despite his valiant effort crossed the line in second, but came across the scales 8 pounds light and was disqualified.

Jeff James was officially scored in second place. Tim Karrick came home in third.

Todd Van Eaton and Jeff Wiggins rounded out the top five.

Tim Ward was the halfway leader and the lap 20 leader.

Hobby stocks Twenty-five AgriVision Equipment Group Hobby Stocks were in attendance to race for $1,000 to win. Luke Ramsey, Zach Olmstead and Ryan Vicker won the heat races, while all drivers made the A-Feature.

Jerid Lund and Jason Fusselman started on the front row, but Ramsey quickly jumped out to the lead. Ramsey took the lead into the halfway pit stop.

His crew made the proper adjustments, allowing the Bedford native to hold off a hard charging Jeff Anderson despite a late-race caution to pick up his first ever Tradition victory. Fusselman, Chris Bates and Olmstead rounded out the top five.

Ramsey was the halfway leader and the lap 20 leader, while Jeff Anderson won the $100 Ramsey Grinding Mystery Bonus award.

Cars were in attendance for the 30-lap, $1,500 to win feature that consisted of a mandatory pit stop at lap 15.

Dustin Reeh, Mike Nichols and Cody Clark won the heat races, while all cars made the A-Feature.

Tony Hardisty and Buck Schafroth started on the front row. Cautions plagued the early stages of the race as the yellow flag flew twice before a single lap was completed. Hardisty and Schafroth battled for the lead throughout the first half of the feature, while defending tradition champion Mike Nichols rallied f r o m the 11th starting position up into the top t h r e e , Hardisty overpowering Schafroth for second place at the halfway break.

Nichols quickly took the lead from Hardisty after the halfway stop, while bad luck plagued Schafroth as his night ended early due to mechanical trouble. While Hardisty and Nichols battled for the lead, Brad Derry rallied from his 20th starting position up into the top three. Derry then passed Hardisty and found himself all over the back bumper of Nichols, but Derry was unable to find a way around Nichols as the Harlan native held on for his second straight Tradition championship. Derry finished in second followed by Tony Hardisty in third; Dusty Van Horn in fourth and Dustin Reeh in fifth.

Hardisty was the halfway leader and Nichols was the lap 20 leader, while Schafroth won the $100 Ramsey Grinding Hard Luck award.

restored opera house is $25 for adults, $10 for students under 18. Wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks will be available at the show.

The Warren Cultural Center opened its doors in spring 2012 in the restored 1896 Warren Building on the town square in Greenfield. The Opera House, with its landmark turret, has been restored to its original glory after decades of disuse, featuring

the multi-purpose Norman Lear Theater. The Cultural Center also includes Ed & Eva’s store, selling the wide-ranging works of Iowa artisans, lobby/ gallery space displaying rotating exhibits, historic residence meeting rooms and a balcony bedroom suite. Information about the center and events there is available at www.warrenculturalcenter.com and on Facebook.

room at the Mandalay Bay casino hotel, across from the concert grounds. He appeared to fire unhindered for more than 10 minutes, according to radio traffic, and then killed himself before officers stormed in and found 23 firearms.

“The echo, it sounded like it was coming from everywhere and you didn’t know which way to run,” said Ledbetter, who was at the concert with seven people including his brother, who was shot and injured, and his wife. They found cover in a VIP area of the concert. Once out of harm’s way, he turned to injured strangers.

Thanks to a man who took the flannel shirt off his back, Ledbetter says he put a makeshift tourniquet on a wounded teenage girl, whose face was covered with blood.

“Some random guy, I said, ‘I need your shirt,’ “said Ledbetter, who is now a mortgage broker and a resident of Las Vegas. “He just gave me the flannel off his back.”

Ledbetter said he compressed someone else’s shoulder wound, and he fashioned a bandage for a man whose leg was shot through by a bul-

let.

“There was a guy that looked like he had a through and through on his leg, that we just put a T-shirt around and just did a bandanna tie,” said Ledbetter, who was outside University Medical Center on Monday, where his brother was being treated for a gunshot that went through his arm and into his chest. He is expected to survive.

Ledbetter and others grabbed the injured man, carried him out to Las Vegas Boulevard, put him in the back of a utility truck with five to 10 other people that was headed to the hospital.

Ledbetter said he would have helped more people but couldn’t clear the barrage of gunfire.

“I’m saving people, or trying to do my best. But it got to the point, I saw people all over, laying where we used to be standing ... just laying there and nobody getting to them and I couldn’t get out there.

The shots just kept coming in and bouncing. I would have been in harm’s way,” he said.

He worries that those unfamiliar with battlefields will suffer what they have survived.

“Everybody there is going to have emotional problems.

I know that. There was blood everywhere I went: Excalibur, Luxor, on the Strip, on

the street,” Ledbetter said.

“All these people are going to have PTSD. I feel bad for all of them.”

Another concertgoer, Anna Kupchyan, credits a man she knows only as Zach for saving her life and about nine others when he herded them into an outdoor trailer serving as a restroom.

Kupchyan, a 27-year-old law student from Los Angeles, said bullets were raining down on the crowd as she and a horde of others began running in search of a way out of the outdoor venue.

The man, Zach, opened a door and ordered people inside and then joined them and shut the door, Kupchyan said.

They stayed inside as the shooting continued, everyone paralyzed in fear, she said.

“Then security came and they shouted for us to get out, to run,” she recalled. Outside the trailer, dead bodies were sprawled on the ground, including a man who had been shot in the head, she said.

She and her best friend Leslie Aguilar, a 26-year-old therapist, eventually jumped in a cab that was driving by and befriended two other women survivors who let them stay in their hotel room until the danger subsided.

Not all of Sunday night’s heroes survived.
